This is such an exciting and inspiring list of travel destinations! I would want to go and see them all for sure. The one that I really didn’t know about at all was the Jeju Islands in South Korea. That really does sound like a wonderful place for a nature lover like me. All of these places are quite different from each other and offer a lot to tourists to have a great holiday. Thank you for such great ideas and information on best times to go.

Oh my gosh! I’m so excited for you to try to go all these amazing places! It’s always so rewarding when you’ve saved enough money to go to your dream locations, and it’s so inspiring and motivational when reading a post like this. I would love to go to Armenia someday and well as Morocco, I can’t wait to see posts on those countries if/when you get there!
